About the role
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience to help index the offline world. We want an obsessive, customer-focused builder with startup experience who likes owning product end-to-end, with no PM layers in between. Rilla's AI sales coaching platform captures the billions of face-to-face sales conversations that happen every month. More than 2,000 companies use it, including The Home Depot, Kohler, and PulteGroup. As an early technical steward, you'll set the engineering bar and patterns as the company grows 10×, and your scope will grow just as fast.
What will you be doing?
- Designing and shipping end-to-end features across the stack (React, React Native, TypeScript, Python, Node.js, PostgreSQL) at a fast pace
- Owning product decisions directly with no PMs, and talking to customers through advisory boards and field visits
- Building across Rilla's products: audio processing, infrastructure, storage and data processing systems, and the consumer-facing mobile app
- Raising the bar for code quality and technical decision-making, and setting patterns that shape a world-class engineering culture
- Building the tools, platforms, and cloud infrastructure (Terraform, GitHub Actions, Spacelift) that help Rilla scale fast
About Rilla
Rilla is on a mission to index the offline world.
85% of commerce in America happens offline. Every month, 10 billion face-to-face conversations happen between salespeople and customers, and until Rilla, none of them were captured. Our AI sales coaching platform captures those conversations and gives every business the same customer intelligence that Google and Amazon have online.
Customers see a 10 to 30% lift in sales after deploying Rilla. Reps get daily coaching from every conversation, not just the occasional ride-along. Enterprises get 100% visibility into the information that helps them drive their business.
Backed by: Google Ventures, Bessemer Ventures, Crew Capital, Broom Ventures.
Customers: Over 2,000 companies use Rilla, including The Home Depot, Kohler, LG, KKR, PulteGroup, and Neighborly.
Engineering culture:
- No product managers. Engineers own product end-to-end.
- You talk to customers directly through advisory boards and informal conversations.
- Ownership from day one. Small teams, no layers.
What you'll build: Imagine joining OpenAI in 2022, or Google before it was Google. That's the window you have with Rilla right now. We are a multi-product company with a ton of opportunity to grow, whether that's in audio processing, the infrastructure layers, or the consumer-facing mobile app and products that many people interact with. You can learn more about specific products through the interview process.
How we operate: We run Rilla like a high-speed reinforcement learner. Ship fast, fail fast, learn fast, ship again.
We are fully in-office at a brand new penthouse spot at 25 Kent in Brooklyn. We have never hired an outside senior executive. Every leader started as an IC and grew into their role.
Who thrives here: Engineers who want to own product end-to-end, talk to customers directly, and build without PM layers. Engineers who care about real-world impact more than novelty. Engineers who are excited about building products with real utility and making them as seamless and as fun to use as possible.
